The thing that bugs me though, when I reformat mine all the time, it never does this and can't understand why it changed theirs. Might be because they have a restore disk instead of just installing WinXP direct.

That might have something to do with it, but a lot of people DON'T reinstall Windows and the issue just occurs out of the blue.
It happened to me a couple of times, and the solution I gave you has always worked.
Glad it worked for your friend.

My brother had a wierd problem today that I can't find how to fix it. It was working the last time I was up there, but it's not now. Here's the problem:

Seems that the little box that you can click on to get to the attachment is no longer on the line just above the body of the message and it also doesn't allow you to click on that same line to get pictures to show up within the message as well.

Not sure I explained that well, but hope it came through. Checked the security tab and everything is as it was before.

Sorry. I should have been more specific. The System File Checker under method 3 replaces any files that are missing or corrupt on the computer. More information here >> How to Use SFC.EXE to Repair System Files .

You can also check in OE under View > Columns & see if there's a checkmark next to Attachment. If it happens to be missing, click the box to put in a checkmark & select Reset.
